J Crohns Colitis

Pragmatic trial design to compare real-world effectiveness of different treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases: the PRACTICE-IBD European consensus.

Pragmatic randomized clinical trials can address important questions in IBD clinical practice, and may provide complementary high-level evidence, as long as they follow a methodologically rigorous approach. These 25 statements intend to offer practical guidance in the design of high-quality pragmatic clinical trials that can aid decision making in choosing a management strategy for IBDs.

Early Enteral Nutrition versus Early Supplemental Parenteral Nutrition in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Secondary Analysis of Two Randomized Clinical Trials.

Early enteral nutrition compared to isoenergetic supplemental parenteral nutrition may not be associated with reduced rate of nosocomial infection in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, but may be associated with improved hematological nutritional status.

Temporal Changes in Micronutrient Intake Among U.S. Adults, NHANES 2003 through 2018: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Although some progress has been made, nutrient intake and percentage of the population meeting nutritional recommendations among U.S. adults has changed little over the 15 years studied.

Two randomised crossover multicentre studies investigating gastrointestinal symptoms after bread consumption in individuals with non-coeliac wheat sensitivity: do wheat species and fermentation type matter?

The majority of NCWS individuals experienced some GI symptoms for at least one of the breads, but on a group level, no differences were found between different grains for either YF or SF breads. Clinical trial registry ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04084470( /ct2/show/NCT04084470).

Sustained Increase in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Incidence Across the South West United Kingdom Over the Last 10 Years.

We demonstrate significant increases in pIBD incidence across a large geographical area including multiple referral centers. Increasing incidence has implications for service provision for services managing pIBD.

Efficacy and Safety of Filgotinib for the Treatment of Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease [DIVERGENCE 2]: a Phase 2, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Filgotinib 200 mg was associated with numerical reductions in the number of draining perianal fistulas based on combined clinical and MRI findings compared with placebo, and was generally well tolerated. [NCT03077412].

Peripheral joint and enthesis involvement in patients with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease: symptoms, clinical and ultrasound findings - a population-based cohort study.

Half of patients with newly diagnosed IBD had inflammation in their peripheral joints and/or entheses, documented by rheumatological clinical and ultrasound evaluations. This indicates a need for multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure an optimal therapeutic strategy for suppressing inflammation in al disease domains.

Specific antibiotics increases the risk of flare-ups in patients with inflammatory bowel disease - results from a Danish nationwide population-based nested case-control study.

We found distinctive antibiotics to be significantly associated with an increased risk of IBD flare-ups. Our findings are corroborated by our GBDT machine learning models. Healthcare providers should be aware about the deleterious potential of specific antibiotic groups in patients with IBD only using these agents in a restrictive manner or preferentially consider alternative antibiotic groups.

The phospholipid flippase ATP8B1 is involved in the pathogenesis of Ulcerative Colitis via establishment of intestinal barrier function.

ATP8B1 is important in the establishment of the intestinal barrier Downregulation of ATP8B1 levels in UC, and subsequent altered localization of tight junctional proteins, including CLDN4, might therefore be an important mechanism in UC pathophysiology.

Thiopurine metabolite shunting in late pregnancy increases the risk of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy in women with inflammatory bowel disease, and can be managed with split-dosing.

Thiopurine exposure is associated with an increased risk of ICP, particularly following dose increases antenatally and with shunting in late pregnancy. The latter may be effectively managed with split dosing, although further studies are warranted.

Pancreas

Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 and Metabolite Hypotaurine Are Predictive Markers for Early Recurrence of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Our results suggested that tumor hypotaurine is a potential metabolite associated with early recurrence. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and hypotaurine showed a vital utility for predicting early recurrence.

Pancreatology

Clinical impacts of positive intraepithelial neoplasia at pancreatic transection margin in pancreatic cancer surgery.

Intraepithelial neoplasia at the pancreatic transection margin did not affect overall/recurrence-free survival. As patients with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia at the pancreatic transection margin have an increased risk of recurrence in the remnant pancreas, careful postoperative follow-up is required.

Communication, understanding and engagement of patients with pancreatic cancer at time of diagnosis.

In this first attempt to measure clarity of communication and engagement in patients with PDAC, typical features of conversation and problematic understanding emerged, which deserves further investigation.

Factors affecting the time interval of endoscopic ultrasound-guided endoscopic necrosectomy of walled-off pancreatic necrosis: A retrospective single-center study in China.

The EUS-measured solid necrotic ratio, the MCTSI, postoperative fever, C-reactive protein increase, and fever before reintervention in patients affect the time interval of EUS-guided endoscopic necrosectomy in WON patients. These five indicators may be promisingly effective in predicting and managing endoscopic necrosectomy intervals.

Tumor location, clinicopathological features, and perioperative and prognostic outcomes in patients who underwent pancreatic resection following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resectable pancreatic cancer: A retrospective study.

The prognoses based on tumor locations in the Ph and Pbt after surgery following NACRT are similar. Following the resection of resectable Pbt PDAC, the possibility of peritoneal dissemination recurrence should be considered.
